Devised by Bill Cheswick of Lucent Technologies-Bell Labs and Hal Burch of Carnegie Mellon university, it traces the routes that pieces of data take to reach up to 20,000 nodes (computers like web and email servers) connected to the web.
Although the diameter of the web will increase as the number of sites increases, large numbers of new nodes result only in small changes in the diameter.
For many it is more important to map what is "on top" of the infrastructure of nodes and wires - the information and human interactions of cyberspace.

It will require new e-mail clients, web browsers and file-transfer programs that could be used on the International Space Station or other future manned space missions, and which can interact with other nodes on the interplanetary network and the terrestrial internet.
So if two nodes tried to send packets of data to the hub at the same time, the resulting "collision" would garble both their transmissions.
